No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

No, the damage is done... most Americans genuinely want the fucker.

Is this likely? I’m not there, so don’t know if this even seems likely, but I’ve seen this question twice now, which has kindled a tiny flame of hope

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago

I mean, he's had 2 attempts on his life before we even got to election day. Every Ukrainian hates the mans guts. Half of this country hates the mans guts. I WANT to say that every Mexican hates him, but I can't because he actuslly polled really well with Latinos.....for some reason.

He also treats his own body like he hates himself. He eats more processed food than a family should eat.

His complexion is the weirdest color I've ever seen on an actual human. I almost expect him to have green hair, and break out into song. I don't know what percentage of his body is chemicals, but I'd be surprised if it was under 20%. It's not everyday you root FOR the cancer to win.

He flies a personal jet around the country, with his name on the side of it. Now historically anything branding his name will fail so hard that it crashes and burns. Which makes sense in this case, because his jet IS a Boeing.

In conclusion, between all of his poor diet choices, his poor life choices, his poor health choices, his poor aviation choices, and his natural aging (he is in his 70s), it's ABSOLUTELY possible he dies at any time for almost any reason. It's actually kind of impressive that he keeps living everyday. It's like beating the odds just by existing.

Although, you read this question twice in one day because I thought it would be funny to parody the other question. I thought people were getting too serious in the other one. So I figured I'd present his death as the light hearted jolly event it should be!

His gross VP and like, half the GOP would have to go with him. All the monsters like Miller are already burrowing in like a parasitic worm.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Like a parasitic worm lodged in RFK's brain you mean.

If it isn't really obvious he died of natural causes, whoever becomes president will have a lot of pressure on them to abolish the CIA.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Don't worry. Weird Al will kill them! It's a party in the CIA!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Right up until we have an Arch Duke situation

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

Welp. Time to ban sandwiches.

We wouldn't be saying these things if we didn't need help.

The problem is that you interpret our cries for help as manipulative tactics to get our way rather than the intended desperate cry for the world's leaders to do things that make the world a better place instead of using our misery as a profit vector.

Sorry that's too complicated for you to understand.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't care what his purported job is when he dies, I'm partying when it happens.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't had a drink since before the turn of the century. You better belive I'm having a drink, when that fucker dies. I'd piss on his grave if I could find it and not get arrested doing it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

He’s not worth ruining your sobriety over but I completely understand the sentiment.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Already asked like hours ago 🙄

Answer:

If trump died before the Electoral Votes are cast, they wouldn’t be bound to vote for him and can vote for anyone, but its almost certainly going to be vance. Then either vance or RNC picks someone else to be the new VP to tells the electors to now instead of voting: [Pres: trump VP: vance] its now [Pres: vance VP: whoever they find to take this role]

If both trump and vance died before the electoral votes are cast, then RNC find 2 new people to tell their electors to vote for.

(Remember Electors are selected by their parties and are usually party loyalists that aren’t gonna vote for the opposing party. Think of people like Former President Obama being an elector in his state for the democratic ticket, he aint voting trump ever, and same thing with a loyal maga supporter, they aint ever switching to vote Democrat.)

If trump died after the electoral votes are cast, vance takes the oath and become 47th president, VP is empty. vance can appoint someone to be VP with simple majority of both houses.

If both trump and vance died after the electoral votes are cast, the speaker of the house, mike johnson, swears in as Acting President (after being required to resign as speaker of the house) for the rest of the term or until someone else above them in the line of sucession becomes available to be acting president. (We dont know what happens if acting president mike johnson nominates a VP since the new VP would be above him in the line of sucession)

Only VP takes the title of “President”, everyone else in the line of sucession is not designated by the constitution but is only statutory.

That's not strictly true, and varies by state.

Most states have faithless elector laws that may invalidate and/or penalize the elector if they attempt to cast their electoral votes contrary to the electorate votes within the state.

My question was a parody of the one asked hours ago. Which is why it's a literal copy/paste until I get to the parody part. It was less about what would happen if he died, and more about how we, the public, would respond.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

Sorry I didn't get the parody. My mind is filled with post-election despair. 😖

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't think you'd be in a very good mood for very long if that happened.

Some of you idiots need to wake up to the gravity of these situations. I hope you manage to wake yourselves up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Alright. I'll bite. What would be the gravity of the situation?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Well if the second president who has openly opposed the CIA is also assassinated, people might be a wee bit ticked off.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I never said assinated. I said dies. He's an overweight out of shape elderly man with the literal most stressfull job in the world. And unlike last time, he KNOWS what's coming.

Healthy people in their 70s die all the time.

Why WOULD I assume he has a long shelflife ahead of him?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

The only thing I disagree with is that he finds being president stressful. He's both incredibly stupid and lazy, so I don't think he really even gives a shit about what his staff is doing as long as they keep jerking off his ego and don't interrupt his golf and McDonald's time. He's likely not even aware of most of it, except whatever gets fed to him to post on social media.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't think people would take it as anything else, regardless of what the media might say. Which is why I'm saying that some of you idiots need to appreciate the gravity of the situation.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That is a good point. He could die of a heart attack on national TV and Maga would find a way to claim something else happened.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

That might actually be the most suspicious possible scenario you could have come up with.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago

You're the only one talking about assassination.
